*Showcase Winner

Comments

*That wheel is HOT! 7 $1,000 and 2 $6,000 winners in the past 4 shows! That means 9 out of 24 contestants won something during the Showcase Showdown this week.
*Well at least the grocery item part of Pass the Buck is sort of tricky, unlike Let 'em Roll. The Clorox/Nestle combination and the Aspirin/Ice Cream combination could have very likely been lost.
*Evelyn was the fourth bidder *3* times. Ina was the fourth bidder *3* times. Unfortunately, neither made it out of contestant's row.
*Due to Pass the Buck, many of the grocery item games have seen a cut in play. Grocery Game, Hit Me, Now or Then & Penny Ante have all yet to be played this year.
